Instructions
If you’re looking to recreate a similar cheesy snack at home, here’s a simple way to do it:
- Start by preheating your oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your potatoes by peeling and chopping them. Boil them until soft, then drain and mash.
- Mix the mashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Season with salt and your preferred spices for extra flavor.
- Form small bite-sized rounds from the mixture and set aside.
- Next, bread the rounds by dipping them in beaten egg and rolling them in seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Carefully drop the breaded tots into the hot oil, frying them until they turn golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
These homemade cheesy tots are just as delicious and can be easily customized with different types of cheese or spices. Whether you enjoy them as a snack during movie night or as a side with your favorite burger, cheesy tots are sure to level up your snack game!
